Viewers of It Takes Two, the popular BBC spin-off show that follows Strictly Come Dancing, have voiced their frustration over one of the show’s professional dancers, accusing them of acting “annoying

and childish” in a bid to entertain the audience. The remarks have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some fans claiming the dancer’s behavior

appears to be a deliberate attempt to appear less mature or knowledgeable for comedic effect, a tactic they feel is forced and detracts from the show’s more serious tone.

It Takes Two is typically a more light-hearted, behind-the-scenes look at Strictly Come Dancing, offering a mix of interviews, performances, and insight into the lives of both the celebrity contestants

and the professional dancers. The show provides a space for the professionals to showcase their personalities and interact with the audience in a more relaxed setting than the intense competition

on Strictly itself. However, the particular dancer in question has recently been accused of “playing dumb” during segments, seemingly exaggerating their persona to entertain viewers.

Fans of the show have taken to social media platforms to voice their disappointment over what they describe as the dancer’s exaggerated and “childish” antics.

Many argue that the behavior feels disingenuous and detracts from the professionalism they expect from someone with such high standing in the world of Strictly. One viewer tweeted, “This dancer is so annoying on It Takes Two.

They’re just playing dumb for laughs. It feels forced and childish—such a contrast to the grace and skill we see on Strictly.”

Another fan posted, “I can’t stand how they keep acting so silly and immature on It Takes Two. It’s like they’re trying too hard to be the ‘funny one.’ It’s not charming anymore.”

The criticism centers around the dancer’s approach to interviews, where they often act over-the-top, engage in exaggerated facial expressions, and adopt a playful tone that some viewers interpret as “dumbing down” for entertainment value.

While it’s clear that It Takes Two aims to add humor and lightness to its coverage, critics argue that this particular professional is relying too heavily on their antics to generate laughs, rather than showcasing their true personality and skills.

Others have suggested that the dancer’s antics undermine the seriousness of the Strictly competition, where the professionals are usually expected to maintain a high level of discipline and elegance.

Strictly Come Dancing is a show celebrated for its blend of glamour, artistry, and technical precision, and some viewers feel that the playful portrayal of the professional dancer doesn’t align with the show’s overall tone.

I get that It Takes Two is supposed to be lighthearted, but this just feels so forced,” one critic wrote.

“We love the pros for their skill, not for acting like schoolchildren. They should focus more on the dancing, not trying to be a ‘character’ for TV.”

Despite the backlash, there are still many viewers who defend the professional dancer, arguing that their behavior is simply part of their charm.

These fans suggest that the dancer’s playful persona is a way of adding personality to the show, helping to create a fun and engaging atmosphere for the audience.

“I love the energy they bring to It Takes Two! It’s nice to see a professional who isn’t afraid to be goofy and have fun. It’s a refreshing change from the usual seriousness,” one supporter wrote.

Another fan commented, “I think they’re hilarious. It’s clear they’re just having a laugh, and that’s what makes them stand out. Not every pro needs to be super serious all the time.”

This divide in opinion highlights a broader debate about the role of humor and personality in the Strictly universe.

While some viewers prefer a more serious and professional approach from the dancers, others feel that the light-hearted moments are essential to the charm and appeal of It Takes Two.

The show has long been known for its ability to showcase a more relaxed side of the dancers, where they can interact with the audience and show off their quirks and personalities.

For some, this is an important aspect of the program, offering a contrast to the high-stakes drama of the live shows.

Ultimately, the debate boils down to personal preference. Some fans appreciate the more comedic, playful side of the dancers, while others prefer them to keep things more refined and focused on the technical aspects of the competition.

The ongoing discussion also speaks to the larger role that It Takes Two plays in the Strictly franchise: it’s a place for viewers to connect with the dancers on a more personal level, but it’s also a space where the line between entertainment and professionalism can sometimes feel blurred.

For now, the dancer in question remains a controversial figure on It Takes Two, with viewers continuing to share their thoughts on social media.

While they may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s clear that their antics are not going unnoticed.

Whether their exaggerated behavior will be toned down in future episodes or continue to spark debate remains to be seen, but it’s certain that this particular professional will continue to be a source of conversation, both positive and negative, among It Takes Two fans.
